Cyclist Lance Armstrong Admits Doping to Oprah Winfrey

Last year, the US Anti Doping Agency (USADA) accused him of what it called "the most sophisticated professionalized and successful doping program" the sport had ever witnessed. He was however stripped of seven Tour de France titles.

After more than a decade of denials, he finally admitted to Oprah in an interviewing that he used performance enhancing drugs to help him win seven Tour de France titles. Armstrong, 41, has since been stripped of the titles and issued a life ban.

The US Anti Doping Agency in a meeting with Armstrong, last month said they are willing to reduce his life ban only if he can testify against the people who helped him dope.
